Curse of the Dice Witch is a game made for the GMTK game jam with a theme of "roll of the dice." In the game, two friends get lost and meet the Dice Witch, who magically traps one friend inside of a dice. The other friend must roll him around as they work together to collect stars to undo the curse in a fun puzzle-platformer game.

Tried this game out.
WASD only, no arrow keys.
Can't play, sadly. Will there be an update?

you sould port to 3ds

For level 7, when you pull the dice with you to the red platform and the dice is off the platform, you can no clip into the right wall and you fall forever (until reset).

"do you want to turn on sticky keys?"

Great game but can you add a way to skip the intro? Because of the way my computer works I have to restart the game every so often and it gets really old to watch it over and over

Very fun game, but honestly it feels more like a 2 separate puzzles then 1. You can just solve one part and then second.

Agreed. I think the fact that while rolling the dice you can vary how far you push it makes it so you can just roll back and forth without moving to solve the right puzzle, and then pull the dice without rolling for the left puzzle. I think if the game was based on a grid where the dice rolls always move 1 space, then you can create some interesting puzzles where a limited number of spaces to move on the left limits how you can move on the right. 

The puzzles were fun and interesting, but they would be more novel and original if the two sides were more synergistic.

Still, loved the idea and had fun playing it!

yep, definitely agree. That's something I would like to add in the future, and I would have worked on that with more time. Could make for some very cool puzzles

"because I can lol"  😂

I love this game! it's  a very clever premise and the puzzles feel like just the right level of challenge :)

I know I commented on this twice but I think you really have something amazing here and I hope you build it out into a bigger game with more levels!

really like the game but cannot for the life of me figure out how to beat lvl 5 :')  I'll chalk it up to me bein dumb. 10/10

This was a fun game, I loved the puzzles and the way you used doors as platforms. The sound really matches the vibe too. 10/10

It's fun and I watch your video

Very nice !

Great game and a very creative idea!!
